first person narrative
« on: December 07, 2009, 03:46:35 am »
i'm stuck on an assignment (writers block!) so i came up with this idea to alleviate it. a narrative of randomness, anyone can join in, post anything you like (as long as it follows the forum rules and rules below)

1. your post must have 5 or more sentences longer than 2 words each
2. no more than 10 sentences
3. you may not post twice in a row
4. don't hijack the story! like, how do i put this... don't write a story equivalent to a novel in one post, and let other people have a chance to change the story.
5. if you reply too late and someone else posts before you, just modify, delete your paragraph, and type [too late]. don't change it to fit the post that came before yours
6. stay in first person!
7. use brackets when not typing something relevant to the story
8. the main character's, or your, gender remains ambiguous. you're some kind of genderless mutant human who probably looks like a feminine guy who could be mistook for a girl. btw, you have no digestive system, so no eating, pooping, urinating, or sweating. no body parts relating to any of those, including your mouth. all you depend on is air. bwahaha!
9. don't do anything utterly ridiculous or magical. work off of previous posts. don't ignore them. etc

first post!

There's a blinding light! OH MY GOD IS IT HEAVEN? Wait what, I was dreaming? I open my heavy eyes, my body feeling weak from a longer than usual rest, my head throbbing.... A purely green field surrounds me, the sun directly above me, nothing else in sight but the sky and a random short tree to the right. Where the hell am I... Who am I?! Why does my head hurt?

[now you may inspect the random tree, figure out why your head hurts, get caught in an earthquake, fly into the stratosphere, idk]

A word of advice from an old grump.  Treasure your younger years.  Working sucks.  But do it right and you can party again when you hit retirement!

None of you could ever hope to be as good at writing stories as I.

Just because we're Irish doesn't mean we're drunk all the time... *hic*
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(
